FROM SHOP AND MILL.
Dine Hundred and Forty Coopers
Thrown Out of Work.
What the Legislature Can Do for the
Laboring Men.

The shop of the Hardwood Storage COM
pany. the largest cooper shop in Minneap-
aolis, shut down yesterday, and is liable to
stay closed. One hundred and forty coop
ers are thrown out of employment. but, as
they can get work at the other shop in pro-
portion to the increase of the demand for
barrels, the effect will not be so damaging
as it would seem. Concerning the cooper
situation. the Northwestern Miller says:
Indications point to serious difficulties
arising in Minneapolis cooper affairs. There
has been more or less dissatisfaction ever
Since the shops agreed in October to pay fif-
teen cent per ariel for making, the most of
them being unable to clear themselves with
these wages. The burden was especially on
erous to the boss shops, and almost as much
so TO the co-operatiN e hand shops. The latter
IN fact, in more than one instance were forced
to levy assessments on members to mako up
for losses. The bosses had no recourse TO
such means for overcoming any efficiency
which they suffered. As a result the two
smaller shops of the latter class
have lately found it necessary to
curtail their business. Robert Parr. the
proprietor of one of these, this
week notified his men, eight in number, that
he could not afford to pay full wages any
longer, and closed up mis- shop. james Ken
nedy, Proprietor of a shop employing about
fifteen coopers. last week asked his men to
take some action which would obviate the
necessity of reducing his force, and the mat
ter is in allegiance at the present time. An
other thing which cannot fail 10 have bear
Ing on the situation is the probable shutting
down, Saturday evening, of the Hardwood
p Storage shop. This will throw about $50
journeSmen coopers into temporary idleness,
and, unless considerable assistance is re-
ceived from their fellow workmen who arc
employed, there will be a strong tend
ency to make concessions in wages.
The working coopers are strong and
well organized, and will doubtless make
a hard fight against any reduction in the
standard of wages fixed in October by con-
tract. This leaves local coopering affairs
very much unsettled, with prospect OF a
good deal OF trouble resulting before there is
any satisfactory settlement 1t seems to us
the only way the working coopeIs ever
hope to enjoy fair wages In peace is by TAX
ing part in the regulation of the price of
barrels. If the millers pay enough for barrels
to warrant reasonable wages being allowed
the cooper, the latter is secure; but if this is
not done, he must expect fficulty in getting
just compensation for his aoor. With stock
advancing as at present, the shops should re-
ceive more for their barrels and it seems as
though the miller could afford to pay more

wnereon gue ogners nniueu, too. On looking
out over the vast plain before him, John dis
covered the reason. About half mile be-
meath them was q great herd Of blesbuck,
feeding, 300 or more Of them, and beyond
them again another herd of some sixty or
seventy much larger and wilder looking ami
mails, with white tails, which John at once
recognized as vilderbeeste Nearer to them
again, dotted about here and there ON tie
plain, were a couple of dozen or so Of grace
fdf yellow springbuck.
Then council of war was held, which re-
suited in the men on horseback-ainong
whom was Frank Mnller-being dispatched
TO circumvent the herds and drive them
toward the carts, that took up their stations
at varioGs points toward which the buck were
likely to make.
Then came pause Of quarter Of an hour
or 30, till, suddenly, from the far ridge of tho
opposite slope, John saw a COUPLE Of puffs Of
white smoke float up into the air, and one Of
the vilderbeeste below roll over ON his back,
kicking and plunging furiously. Thereon the
whole herd of buck turned and came thunder
ing toward them, stretched in long line
across the wide veldt; the springbuck first
then the blesbuck, looking, owing to their
peculiar way Of holding their long heads
down as they galloped, for all the world like
herd Of great bearded goats. Behind and
mixed up with them were the vilderbeeste
who twisted and turned, and jumped into the
air as though they had gone clean of their
heads and were next second going clean on
them It Is very difficultj owing to his ex-
traordinary method of progression, to dis
tinguish one part of q galloping vilderbeeste
from another; now 1t is his horns, now his
tail, and now his hoofs that present them
selves to the watchers bewildered vision, and
now again they all seem to be mixed mp to-
gether. On came the great herd, making the
ground shake beneath their football; and
after them galloped the mounted Beers, every
now and again jumping from their horses to
fire shot into the line Of game, which gen.
orally resulted in some poor animal being left
sprawling on the ground, wherein the sports
men would remount and continue the chase.
Presently the buck were within range Of
some of the guns in the carts and regular
fusillade began About twenty blesbuck
ssrned and came past John, within forty
yards of him Springing to the ground; be
fired both barrels of his express" at them as
they tore past-alas and alasi without touch
ing them. The first bullet struck under their
bellies, the second must have shaved their
backs Reloading rapidly, he fired again at
about 200 yards range, and this time one
fell to bis second barrel. But he knew that
It was a chance shot; he had fired at the last
buck, and he had killed one ten PAGES In front
Of him. The fact of the matter Is that this
sort of shooting is exceedingly difficult till one
knows how to do it.

the dead blesbuck to look after itself for tina

Beers can't kill the black people as they like.
That man-that Boer, Muller, he shot my
father and my mother-my father first, then
my mother he gave her two bullets-she did
not die the first time"
"You yellow dewitt You black skinned,

the great Boer, his very beard curling with
fury. "Is that the way you talk to your
mastersi Out Of the light, rooibaatje" (sol-
dier)-this was to John-"and / will cut his
tongue out of him. I'll show him how we
deal with yellow liar;n and without further
ado he made rush for the Hottentot. As he
came, John, whose blood was now thoroughly
up, put out his open hand and bending for
ward pushed with all his strength on Muller's
advancing chest. John was a very power:
fully made man, though not a very large
one, and the push sent Muller staggering
back
"What do you mean by that, rooibaatjei"
shouted Muller, his face livid with fury.
"Get out of my road or will mark that
pretty face of yours have some goods 10
pay you for as it Is, Englshman, and
always pay my debts. Out OF the path, curse
your and he again rushed for the Hottentot.
This time John, who was now almost as
angry as his assailant, did not wait for him
to reach him, but springing forward, hooked
his arm around Muller's throat, and before
he could close with him with one tremendous
jerk managed not only to stop his wild career,
but TO reverse the motion, and then, by inter-
posing his foot with considerable neatness, to
land him, powerful man as he was, on his
back in pool of drainage that had collected
from the stable in the hollow Of the inn yard.
Down he went with a splash and amid .
